Before my Daughter and my Grandkids flew back to the east coast, I spent a few days camping with them and my Son, Seth and my new Daughter-in-law Victoria. On the way home, I visited an old friend, this waterfall along the Rocky Brook road that climbs from Walker Pass on US 101 in the Olympic National Forest.

This is one of those places that I keep returning to hoping that the air will be still so I can photograph non-blury Maidenhair Ferns with a long enough exposure to render the water silky. This was the first time the air was still... happy me

Peace

Desert Sunflowers

Gerea canescens, Desert Sunflowers (the plant grows about 18" tall and the flowers are about an inch across. In the other photographs that look like there are portions of yellow ground cover... it's the Desert Sunflower, they grow a couple feet apart and one has to get down to their level to 'bunch' them into view.

I made this image from near Stovepipe Wells where the dunes were a couple miles away (see the folks on top the dune) and the top of the far ridge was about ten miles distant. Scale in the desert is extremely misleading.
